Hide keyboard when Edit Text in Recycler View is scrolled off screen

Question

I have a RecyclerView that contains EditText child elements. I would like to hide the soft keyboard when the selected EditText is scrolled off screen. How can I tell when the EditText is no longer on screen? Is there some event listener that I can attach to the EditText element to tell?

Answer 1

Implement onTouchListener like this:

yourRecycleView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

        return false;
    }
});
